If your TV set has phono L+R audio outputs you should be able to connect them to the audio inputs on your sound amplifier. That will provide stereo and Dolby Prologic (when broadcast). If your TV has an optical output then that will provide DD5.1 surround sound if you connect it to the optical input on your sound amplifier.

Freeview is 2.0 mix, but if the home theatre has Pro-Logic II that'll do an OK job of simulating surround sound.

You won't be able to connect the TV to that unit - it has no audio inputs.
